Jack Ryan: Ghost War topped Prime Video's global film chart for the week of May 25-31, 2026, according to Amazon, as the newly launched Off Campus led all series after drawing 36 million viewers in its first 12 days on the platform.
Amazon released its weekly viewing data on June 3, 2026, covering the period from Monday, May 25, through Sunday, May 31. The figures are calculated using total worldwide Prime Video accounts that viewed a title during that seven-day window. The methodology counts any available season of a series, not just the most recent one, and differs from the rankings displayed inside the Prime Video app, which reflect a shorter time window and country-specific data.
Ghost War leads the film chart
Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War claimed first place on the top 10 global Prime Original films chart. The film, running 107 minutes, was directed by Andrew Bernstein and written by Aaron Rabin and John Krasinski, who also serves as a producer and reprises the title role. The cast includes Wendell Pierce as James Greer, Michael Kelly as CIA operative Mike November, Sienna Miller as MI6 officer Emma Marlowe, and additional performances from Max Beesley, JJ Feild, Douglas Hodge, and Betty Gabriel.
The movie premiered on May 20, 2026, and is available in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ on supporting devices. Ghost War is the sixth film and third reboot in the Jack Ryan series, and is a continuation of the Prime Video television series that ran from 2018 to 2023.
It was announced in October 2024 that Krasinski would suit up again as Ryan, this time in a straight-to-streaming movie. The film hit Prime Video on May 20, 2026, and quickly moved to the number one position on the movie chart. Reviews were mixed, but audiences responded positively to the franchise's continuation.
This production is presumably an attempt to restart the Jack Ryan series as a more manageable franchise of occasional stand-alone movies. Krasinski inherited the role previously played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck, and also leveraged his clout from the series into a second career as a director and writer.
Music was composed by Ramin Djawadi and William Marriott. The film was co-produced by Paramount Pictures, Sunday Night Productions, Genre Arts, and Skydance Media, and distributed by Amazon MGM Studios.
The second spot on the global film chart went to System, an Indian-language original. Crime 101 ranked third. No Place to Be Single, an Italian original, placed fourth. A Working Man took fifth, followed by Love Me Love Me (Italy), Mercy, My Fault: London (UK), The Wrecking Crew, and Balls Up.
Off Campus dominates the series chart
On the series side, Off Campus claimed the top position. Through its first 12 days of streaming, Off Campus Season 1 reached 36 million viewers worldwide. It is the third most-viewed debut season of any series in Prime Video history, behind only The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 1 and Fallout Season 1.
The series is highly anticipated by fans of the book, which has over 1 million ratings on Goodreads, and won the Goodreads Choice Award for Readers' Favorite Romance in 2015.
All eight episodes of Off Campus landed on Prime Video on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. Season 1 is based on "The Deal" and follows Hannah Wells, a music major, and Garrett Graham, Briar University's star hockey captain, whose tutoring arrangement and fake-dating plan become more complicated.
The series is co-created by Louisa Levy and Gina Fattore, who also serve as co-showrunners and executive producers alongside Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, James Seidman, Leanna Billings, and Neal Flaherty. Off Campus has already been renewed for Season 2 with new cast members joining the show. The renewal was announced by Prime Video on February 12, 2025, months before Season 1 had even premiered - an unusually early commitment for the platform.
Based on the international bestselling book series from Elle Kennedy, the series is available on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Spider-Noir brings Marvel noir to the second spot
Spider-Noir ranked second in the global series chart for the week. Produced by Sony Pictures Television exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video, the series debuted domestically on MGM+'s linear broadcast channel on May 25 before launching globally on Prime Video on May 27 as a binge release in more than 240 countries and territories.
The series premiered on May 25, 2026 on MGM+ and May 27 on Prime Video. Spider-Noir centers around an older, more world-weary version of Spider-Man, distinct from the youthful Peter Parker typically portrayed in mainstream adaptations.
For a special viewing experience, Spider-Noir is available to stream in two ways: in "Authentic Black and White" and "True-Hue Full Color" for audiences to choose their own adventure. Spider-Noir is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir and tells the story of Ben Reilly, played by Nicolas Cage, a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who is forced to grapple with his past life following a personal tragedy.
During a conversation with Esquire in February 2026, Cage revealed that he suggested to the studio the option to present the series in two visual styles. While Amazon initially hesitated to commit to black and white, Cage believed that providing a color option would make the series more accessible to viewers unfamiliar with monochrome productions.
The live-action Spider-Noir series consists of eight episodes. Cage is joined in the cast by Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, and Jack Huston as series regulars.
The series was developed by Oren Uziel, with co-showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot. Executive producers include Harry Bradbeer, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, Aditya Sood, Dan Shear, Pavlina Hatoupis, and Nicolas Cage himself. The composers are Kris Bowers and Michael Dean Parsons.
In 2018, Cage voiced the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man Noir in the Oscar-winning animated feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The live-action Spider-Noir marks his first leading television role.
The Boys and broader series rankings
The Boys held the third position on the global English-language series chart. Citadel ranked fourth. The Boys is now in its fifth season, with the series ranking well among returning titles. Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, the original television series that preceded Ghost War, placed sixth - suggesting the film release drove incremental viewership back to the catalog. Invincible ranked seventh. The Summer I Turned Pretty took eighth, with It's Not Like That and Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun (Japan) rounding out the global top 10 series at ninth and tenth.
International originals across multiple markets
The non-English film chart was led by System from India, followed by No Place to Be Single from Italy. The Spanish-language films Culpa Mia, Culpa Nuestra, and Culpa Tuya took third, fourth, and sixth positions respectively, demonstrating sustained performance from the Culpables trilogy across the platform. Vengeance from Mexico placed fifth. Agent Zeta from Spain came in seventh, followed by Tell Me Softly (Spain), Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End (Spain), and The Tank from Germany completing the top 10 non-English films.
The non-English series chart was led by LOL: Last One Laughing Germany. This season - described as the "seven-year itch" - lives up to its name, with host Michael Bully Herbig described as having a colossal ace up his sleeve that no one sees coming. Ten comedy stars with LOL experience try not to laugh for six hours and encounter a nasty surprise early on. Season 7 of the German format premiered on May 27, 2026.
Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun from Japan occupied second in the non-English series chart. The House of the Spirits from Chile came in third, followed by Maxton Hall (Germany), The 50 (Italy), Absolute Value of Romance (Korea), Matka King (India), Exam (India), LOL: Last One Laughing France, and The Bachelorette Japan.
The geographic spread across these rankings - India, Germany, Italy, Spain, Chile, Japan, Mexico, Korea, France - points to the breadth of Prime Video's international production pipeline. Spanish-language content alone accounts for multiple titles across both the film and series charts.
What this means for the advertising market
The weekly chart data carries particular relevance for the marketing community. Premium content performance directly influences the value of advertising inventory on Prime Video, where ad pricing reflects both audience scale and the premium nature of the programming environment.
Amazon advertising revenue surged 23% to $21.3 billion in Q4 2025, driven by Prime Video's 315 million global viewers and accelerating demand-side platform growth across streaming inventory.
Amazon Ads launched Dynamic TV Creative on May 11, 2026, its first capability to automatically personalize Interactive Video Ads on Prime Video series and films based on viewer shopping behavior. That product, announced at the Amazon MGM Studios 2026 Upfront at the Beacon Theatre in New York on May 11, means that the content titles driving the highest viewership - such as Off Campus or Ghost War - now serve as surfaces for personalized ad delivery, not just mass-reach vehicles.
Prime Video's June 2026 lineup shows that Dynamic TV Creative is scheduled to expand into live sports inventory in Q3 2026, which would combine the targeting capability with the premium CPMs that sports programming commands. Amazon's ad chief Alan Moss described Prime Video and live sports as a single business in a podcast episode published on May 12, 2026, arguing that the retail media, streaming, and sports layers are parts of a single full-funnel offering rather than separate lines of business.
The strong debut of Off Campus also illustrates the platform's ongoing strategy of adapting popular book series - a content category that arrives with pre-existing fanbases and measurable social media communities. Off Campus captures the kind of emotionally charged, character-driven storytelling that truly resonates with our global Prime Video audience," said Peter Friedlander, head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios. "With its passionate fan base, rich source material, and an incredible creative team bringing Briar U to life, we knew that this series had the depth and momentum to continue beyond its first season.
Amazon's advertising revenue reaching $21.3B as Prime Video reaches 315 million viewers provides the financial context: each percentage point of audience engagement at that scale translates into material advertising inventory value. Titles that consistently rank in weekly charts - like The Boys, Citadel, and Invincible - become predictable inventory blocks around which advertisers can plan commitments, a function that increasingly resembles what the broadcast upfront system was built to provide.
Amazon expands Prime Video Channel analytics to all eligible marketing partners enables data-driven decisions about which content categories to activate against. The weekly viewership data released by Amazon, while not broken down by episode or demographic, provides a directional signal for those decisions.

Summary
Who: Amazon, reporting on Prime Video viewership; key titles include Jack Ryan: Ghost War (directed by Andrew Bernstein, starring John Krasinski), Off Campus (created by Louisa Levy and Gina Fattore, based on Elle Kennedy's books), and Spider-Noir (developed by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, starring Nicolas Cage).
What: Amazon published its weekly global Prime Video rankings for May 25-31, 2026. Jack Ryan: Ghost War topped the global Prime Original film chart. Off Campus led the global Prime Original series chart after reaching 36 million viewers in 12 days - making it the third most-watched debut season in Prime Video history. Spider-Noir debuted in second place on the series chart. LOL: Last One Laughing Germany led the non-English series rankings. System (India) topped non-English films.
When: The viewing data covers the period from Monday, May 25, to Sunday, May 31, 2026. Amazon published the results on June 3, 2026.
Where: Rankings are global, calculated across all Prime Video accounts worldwide in more than 240 countries and territories. Ghost War launched on Prime Video globally on May 20; Off Campus on May 13; Spider-Noir globally on May 27, 2026.
Why: The data matters to the marketing and advertising community because Prime Video's content performance directly shapes the value of its advertising inventory. Amazon generated $21.3 billion in advertising revenue in Q4 2025, with Prime Video's 315 million viewers as a primary driver. The May 2026 launch of Dynamic TV Creative - which personalizes interactive video ads on Prime Video based on viewer shopping signals - means that titles with high weekly viewership, like Off Campus and Ghost War, now serve as environments for audience-level ad targeting. The weekly chart is therefore not only a content metric but a signal about where advertising inventory concentration is forming.
